[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just learned that I have sent to a bunch of people the 'happy99' worm (virus) without knowing it. DON'T run the program! The virus creates an e-mail without you knowing it and attaches the happy99.exe to an empty message. Fortunately the virus is nice enough to keep a list. I am sending this message to all the people that were on the list. If you made the same mistake that I made and run happy99.exe you are infected and you might help spreading the virus without knowing it. If you have in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory the file liste.ska you know that you are infected and you also know to whom you have sent the virus. You can open the file with your Notepad. For instruction how to remove the virus manually go to: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/3652/SKA.HTM Sorry for the troubles. Jörg Willems
